This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not really. If Microsoft dies, the economy does not really care. It is just another tech company. Lehman brothers thing was affecting the financial system of the world more or less.

Lol, what? Just about every single government agency and most of corporate America is fully reliant on Microsoft software for their office suite, database management tools, SDEs, etc.

That dependency and collapse of financial systems is way different.

Keep in mind that if Microsoft dies, their software does not immediately die. It will be replaced before windows fully dies.

I know but a software switch will be way less harmful than collapse of banks
